Good to see The Owl in action once again. Interesting modifications going on here!

decals?? whooo!

Im trying a new way to apply decals at the suggestion of one of my club members. He mixes water and white glue and uses that as his setting solution. Says it eliminates any silvering, and doesnt require a clear coat. Its actuall working pretty well so far.

...and what would the ratio of glue to water be? The Frankenbird is looking pretty awesome.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
